Hey guys, just wondering what are your favourite goons or henchmen in the TR series. For me, the henchmen are just as important as the boss because they have to do the dirty work.;)

Here goes, my top 5 are:

5: Karel, AOD:
Technically he's not a henchman but he's just so sinister and brooding.
Plus, he dresses like a Vampire:D

4: The Cleaner, AOD! I know hes more of a stealthy assassin than a goon, but he's just so cool. Dunno why he's called the cleaner tho, coz he leaves one hell of a mess behind him in Von Croys appartment when laras thru with him!:jmp:

3: Kold, Tr1. He's a killer with attitude.

2: Goon with Wrench, TR II ( & his many clones ;)!)
When you hear a dull clanking sound in the Maria Doria levels, you just know he's coming. Thats the thing about TRII, all the Goons are repeated. Maybe Bartoli owns some underground cloning faciity lol!)

1: Gunderson, AOD:
He's such a classic henchman, like the silent-but-violent Oddjob in Goldfinger.
It would have been so cool to fite him as Lara in the Louvre.

Any Others?

Moved to Gen Chat, and added 'TR' to the title.

My favourites are Boaz from AOD (not a henchMAN and likely serving only herself, but she looked cool and made cool monsters), Gunderson (the game hints his goons are incompetent as hell, but he just radiates efficiency - and would have made an awesome boss fight), the first Fiamma Nera cultist you meet in TR2 (the one who drinks poison "to the sins and fortunes of Marco Bartoli", that's some sick loyalty there) and Kold from Anniversary (because he's a rabid animal :D).

Oh yes, and Eckhardt from AOD - seeing as how he has (unknowingly) been a good servant to Karel :D

Yeah. :D
Hey, Legend of Lara. Yep, who doesnt love Larson? He loves to raid tombs, double-cross beautiful twin-pistoled heroines, and, erm, eat ice-cream in Rome with his boyfriend Pierre (hee-hee!).
If Larson was in the next TR movie, it would be awesome if Josh Holloway played him ( you know, Sawyer in Lost?).

Pierre's pretty cool too :
" A little late for ze prize-giving? Still, Its the taking part zat counts."

:D
The goons from TR2...proper weirdos if I say so myself lol
And the Damned guys from TR3, just cause they're ace yeah:)

i like the classic pierre and larson.

i wish the the henchmen in AOD had more of a part. from what we saw, i think they had a lot of potential to be hardcore 3 dimensional characters. i thought boaz was especially cool, i just wish they'd given them more lines and lara had had more interesting encounters with them.
and then i think the twist at the end would have been more shocking and suprising. i was just like...oh.
